Try uploading that again, but give the error message this site may provide. Unless it keeps crashing to a white screen, it should give something like "it's dead, Jim", and provide you the error code.

i tried uploading it like 5 times, but it just keeps giving the same message.

"Error: Sample couldn't be created: Unsupported color conversion request"

It doesn't give me any error codes either.

This image is: JPEG/JFIF, CMYK

The others here are: JPEG/JFIF

Maybe e621 doesn't like CMYK format.

Oh, I see. Thanks.

It does. convert lucasimage.jpg foo.png produces an output that appears to be correct.

Of course I don't know what exactly else gets involved in the sample generation process.

We don't use imagemagick though. (what are we, FA? ha ha ha hah... eh)

What, you use GMIC ;) ? Would be the first site I've seen that's actually in the 21st century ;)

(Seriously though, using imagemagick/graphicsmagick to convert files that your main system doesn't understand to files that it does, isn't bad. At least a few image viewers take that approach.)
